Thanks
Without going out to measure, Im pretty sure the extensions were 2.5 inches. And I think the bumpstops were 2.5 inches as well. I can probably go out and measure tomorrow at some point, if no one else has the exact measurements.

Here's my two cents on mine. I love the longer tf shocks. Definatly get bumpstops. And the axle shift is only noticable in one way to me..... When the roads get salted for snow more grime gets thrown up on the driver side door than passenger door cause it shifts towards driver side lol. ** note my tires are 12.5" wide. Look in show and tell for my thread "happy with my 2.5 tf bb" to see the kind of flex u can get and why its obvious u need the bump stop. Btw the tf shocks are a little stiffer but I feel that is better.

I dont think they do, but I had the lift on before we went wheelin for the first time. Although we have wheeled with a stock rubi and he did have it flexed pretty good a few times, it looked close, but I dont think they rubbed.

On ours we got 1/8" shift to the drivers side on the front axle and 1/2" shift to the passenger side on the rear axle.

I ended up getting the BDS 2.5" drop bracket to re-center the rear only because I could tell it was off with the bigger tires.

With the 2.5" lift and stock rims/tires there shouldn't be any rubbing. We run the tires in my sig (roughly 34.5") and all is fine at full flex. I did have to trim the front air dam slightly to fit the larger tires, but stockers won't need it.

I measured the front stock extensions and front bumpstop extensions, they are both 2.5". I didnt get a chance to crawl under and measure the rear. But Im really sure they were 2.5" too
